The multi-angle observation can get more detailed and reliable 3D structural parameters of targets, so it makes the quantitative remote sensing applicable. During the process of reflecting, scattering and transmitting the electromagnetic wave, minerals and rocks could reveal the polarized features related to the nature of themselves. Therefore, it has become a new approach of quantitative remote sensing to detect multi-angle polarized information of minerals and rocks. In respect that the polarized reflectance always goes with the bidirectional one, we can obtain the 3D spatial distribution of targets by a polarized means together with detecting its bi-directional reflectance. From the perspective of multi-angle polarized remote sensing mechanism, the quantitative relationship between multi-angle polarized reflectance and the BRDF is studied in this paper. And it is testified that the bi-directional reflectance, polarized reflectance of 45° and the mean value of polarized reflectance are equal to that of the corresponding azimuth angle, zenith angle, detection angle and detection channels in 27t space by experiment.展开更多

However, the association between inflammation （as indexed by high-sensitivity C-reactive protein, hs-CRP） and endothelial function [as indexed by big endothelin-1 （ET-1）] in AF patients remains unclear. Methods We enrolled 128 patients with lone AF, among which 83 had paroxysmal AF, and 45 had persistent AF. Eighty-two age- and gender-matched controls of paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia without AF history were evaluated. Plasma hs-CRP, big ET-1 levels and other clinical characteristics were compared among the groups. Results Patients with persistent AF had higher hs-CRP concentrations than those with paroxysmal AF （P 〈 0.05）, both groups had higher hs-CRP level than controls （P 〈 0.05）. Patients with persistent AF had higher big ET-1 level than those with paroxysmal AF, although the difference did not reach the statistical significance （P 〉 0.05）, and both groups had higher big ET-1 levels than controls （P 〈 0.05）. Multiple regression analyses revealed hs-CRP as an inde- pendent determinant of AF （P 〈 0.001）. Further adjusted for big ET-1, both big ET-1 and hs-CRP were independent predictors for AF （P 〈 0.001）, but the odds ratio for hs-CRP in predicting AF attenuated from 8.043 to 3.241. There was a positive relation between hs-CRP level and big ET-1 level in paroxysmal AF patients （r = 0.563, P 〈 0.05）, however, the relationship in persistent AF patients was poor （r = 0.094, P 〈 0.05）. Conclusions Both plasma hs-CRP and big ET-1 levels are elevated in lone AF patients, and are associated with AF. In paroxysmal lone AF patients, there were significant positive correlations between plasma hs-CRP level and big ET- 1 level.展开更多

These antigens can be divided into several groups according to their nature like plant allergens, grasses, fungal allergens, pollen grains and house dust mite. Skin response to such allergens is associated with each other either by positive relation （positive correlation） or negative （inverse） relation. No previous papers found to discuss such correlations. In order to investigate these correlations, skin prick test of standard allergens solutions was carried out in 500 patients suffering allergic reactions of the age 12-60 years of both sexes. The results showed that there is a high significance of positive and negative correlations in skin response to allergens in the same group and with allergens of different groups suggesting that there is an induction or suppression of immune response. In conclusion the similarity or dissimilarity in the primary structure of some allergens in addition to gene-environment interaction may reflect positive/negative correlations between certain allergens that can influence the related allergic reactions.展开更多
